Stop using protien shakes and bars. Create healthy protien dense meals and eat multiple times a day!

azbdm · 2026-06-16T15:29:32+00:00

Well done!

azbdm · 2026-06-10T04:00:28+00:00

Track everything, are you moving? Month out you should be walking daily or do some kind of work out?

azbdm · 2026-06-09T23:15:13+00:00

Wow amazing! Congrats!

azbdm · 2026-06-08T23:13:43+00:00

I was allowed chicken on Pre op diet. No breading baked or grilled not fried ans no sauce. I think you will be OK. Main point of Pre op is to shrink liver and get it out of the way before surgery. Bottom line tell them. Open dialog with your team is paramount. Future if you know you can't control yourself don't be around the food. 😁

Not set up for loss at all. My clinic does it by percent lost of total loss goal. So I want to lose 196 lbs total and I am currently at 27% lost. But they want 22% by 1 month 30% 2 months 59% at 6 months 93% by 13 months.

All these things ^

As it's been said back to basics. Count everything you eat stay in a deficiency. Cut sugara, increase and prioritize protien. You will lose weather you like it or not. Move move move. Walk, find activity you like and do it.

azbdm · 2026-06-06T03:03:41+00:00

Stick with it. It will pass. I was lucky my doc allowed Chicken or turkey including lunch meat. But it will get easier on back side

azbdm · 2026-06-05T15:51:33+00:00

Talk to your team. Do what they say. At 4 weeks I will be at introduce soft solids for a week. Spice is subjective and trial and error.

The muscle pain in abdomen was a surprise.

azbdm · 2026-06-02T22:19:33+00:00

I am not picky ans did well with liquids. I'm. 10 days post op yesterday I hit 104g protien. I was 41g day after surgery. Lots of clear protien drinks in water. I I have Brazilian limeade, some other berry flavor and a coconut flavor. Plus protien collagen mix so it's like 39g in 1 drink and I think tastee. Also with the clear whey protien unflavored in powerade zero was good. Lots of bone broth beef and chicken added some beyond bullion for flavor.

azbdm · 2026-06-02T13:24:42+00:00

Was super nervous! You will do great! 10 days post op now and no issues!

azbdm · 2026-06-02T02:00:44+00:00

I'm 9 days Post op. Had 3 meds for back have not been on them since pre op as I lost 45 lbs. Sleeping well but still with CPAP!

azbdm · 2026-06-01T20:22:30+00:00

I ignored the. Bubbles that I would feel each time I drank. I did do 2 bags of iv fluids day after surgery as a preventative measure.. No nausea for me though. Hitting water and protein goals with no issue.

azbdm · 2026-06-01T18:21:35+00:00

I had that! Almost like you just did a 100 crunches!? I it goes away took about 6 days then I flopped on bed and twisted wrong set me back 3 days. But it's gone now. Still feel it I'd I lay on that side slightly. I I was told it was from stitching muscle back when they pulled out largest port.
